So i just put in some Red Dash lights and they look great!!! They look very nice and a great vivid Red. Gonna get a Red boost gauge to match now, lol.

One thing that sucks is my RPM needle... The Speed needle looks great! and looks like a defi gauge, it lights up VERY bright and looks awesome! but the RPM needle is super dark and doesnt light up at all...

Is there another light i need to change to make it brighter? Or is this normal in R33 Gts-t?

Thanks :D

thats strange. your factory boost gauge isnt lit up either, and i know it's the same bulb that lights that entire dial. could it be the uneven spread of light that leds are prone to?

maybe try swapping the lights around as suggested above. or try a regular bulb in that side. if it lights up ok, you know the problem is the led.

i just put philips crystal vision parker bulbs in my dash, and it lights up pretty even across the dials, and very bright too!

      Questions on potential new purchase

      By latino_R35 · Posted

      Hey all, not sure how active SAU is anymore but will ask away anyways. Just wanted to get some experience on the 2008 model GTR CBA model.  I've hit that age in my life (43) where I'm like fk it time to get my dream (midlife crisis) car. Looking at importing one in and seeing if these can be reliable if the main flaws are fixed up. Plan is to keep money aside to do the following straight off the bat to future proof it: * install a stage 1 rebuilt trans with all new bits and pieces.  * install a new Bellhousing from the later model GTRs. Or potentially an upgraded stronger version like MAD or ATR. Besides the above two things and typical maintenance items anything else you'd recommend doing.   Been speaking to a few people and the engine on these are very reliable apparently. But keen on the view of the community here. Hoping to find a nice grade 4.5 with low mileage in Grey. I'd go black but swirls too easy. Look forward to your responses and feedback. Cheers

      Do Alan and Keith work on Skylines now? I remember buying stuff from them when I owned my Ralliart Lancer a few moons ago. Definitely genuine guys and be excellent if they dealt with the skyline platform as well.

      Hey all, I'm Gaston from Sydney's West.  I was a member on here when I was a younger lad and owned a mint R33 GTS-T. Ended up selling it and getting married having kids (yadda yadda) we all know how the story goes. Now I'm back with the intention to get my midlife crisis (dream) car ... a R35 GTR.  You'll see me about asking questions and searching the forums. Good to be back and can't wait to get back an Import again.
